I am very new to finches- for the past year I've been working with them, and have a mix of gouldians, zebras, cordon blues, societies, canaries, orange cheek waxbills, etc. I have an 'indoor aviary' of sorts, where an entire room is basically set up as one big cage with perches around the perimeter of the room and actual cages within the room that remain open so the birds can fly in and out. I will open the windows for a fresh air, and maintain a heater so the room temp is approx. 80 degrees. My question is, is it possible for my birds to contract air sac mites? Is this an illness that I should routinely do some preventative care on? I just ordered your Health Program, and am looking forward to learning more about how to care for these beautiful babes! Thanks! DG
